An open letter to WHS Students/Families and the Williston community:
As I give thanks this holiday season for all of the many blessings in my life, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your wonderful support.
Over the past three and a half years, I have been blessed to call myself a WHS Red Devil and a member of the Williston community.
Thank you for allowing me to not only be part of your child’s education, but for also being part of their life.

Everyone is talking about no Toys for Tots in Levy County this year, but Holiday Hope is still here and has been for over 30 years.
Holiday Hope, Inc. is a non-profit organization in the Williston area that is supported by Williston businesses and community members who either choose to shop for their designated child's gift request or donate money, so others can do the shopping.

To the editor:
I am a mother who lost her job at Walmart after five years. I am on unemployment, working trying hard to make ends meet. I already told my children that Christmas would have to wait. My son, who is 10, teared up. He said, “Don’t worry, Mom. It’s not about the gifts.”
Later that day I rounded up change to buy diapers for my daughter and my grandson. My son went with me. I was short a dollar.
